Because of having to study pretty much every hour god sends at the moment, and being fairly keen to shift a few pounds for summer, I have been trying to cut down my alcohol intake, and so find myself drinking endless cups of tea in the evening. Caffeine obviously isn't good for sleep at all, so I've been trying a variety of different types of herbal and fruit teas, tea drinks and hot chocolates. I've always been a fan of Whittards regular tea and hot chocolate, and recently they had a promotion on where you could buy 3 tubs of hot chocolate or fruit tea for around £12 (they're priced at about £5 each individually). I bought my 2 favourite hot chocolates and ...  Read the complete review

This drink is beautiful for a bedtime sweetener and restful nights sleep. I say sweetener because it is just that incredibly sweet but dont let that put you off because its a lovely drink and quite refreshing as well as comforting to drink before bed. With a combination of vanilla and honey the sweet tastes are apparent from the moment this drink touches your lips but with the extra of chamomile which is generally used as a tea to calm and relax before bedtime it is perfect for people who need a tasty bedtime drink and cannot stand the bitter taste of chamomile tea. It comes in a powder form in a tub and 3-4 teaspoons are needed to then have ...  Read the complete review

I was a regular visitor in Whittards when there was one in the great big hulking monstrosity of a shopping centre known as Meadowhall. Since they often have taste opportunities for their own brand of fruit teas I've tasted most and bought many of them too. Whittards sell many of their own teas and coffees and this particular range is reasonably unique in my experience, much like the crystallised Turkish teas, made primarily of sugar and fruit flavourings. Dreamtime tea was one of the free tasters one day and it really tickled my tastebuds, evoking bizarrely romanticised ideas of flickering firelight and cosy pyjamas. Naturally that's not quite what ...  Read the complete review

I love a nice cup of tea - and often drink up to ten cups a day . The thing is, I know that isn't good for me, and I know especially that the caffeine isn't really going to help me sleep at night . So, I try as much as I can to stop drinking tea at night, and to switch my normal teas for herbal blends that generally contain little or no caffeine . The trouble is, a lot of herbal teas lack substance - but that isn't the case with Whittards Dreamtime Tea . Now, Whittard tea is probably not going to be available in your local supermarket . If you're lucky, like me, you live in a large city with a Whittard shop - a little haven you can duck into on a ...  Read the complete review

I discovered Whittards Instant teas when at a friends house and am now basically hooked. Dreamtime is one of my favourites. It is a mix of Honey, Apricot and Vanilla. It is a very soothing and comforting drink, ideal when you want to relax. The taste is unique from any other teas I have tried. It can be served hot which is perfect for winter evenings, or you can also have it cold which I find is quite refreshing. I would recommend making it hot and making it cool down slightly or completely so that the tea properly dissolves. In the summer you could also pop a couple of ice cubes in it! It doesn't have 'a strong tea' taste to it, I don't like herbal or fruity ...  Read the complete review
